Fall Y'all!

It's Fall y'all!

This means that it is perfectly acceptable to dust off your seasonal decorations, put out pumpkins, wear sweaters and add cinnamon to your coffee, oatmeal (be careful, I learned the hard way with this one) and anything else you want to add cinnamon to!

I am a sucker for pumpkin coffee, pumpkin scented candles and pumpkin rolls! I should stay away from the pumpkin rolls but hey, yolo....

In other news our house is coming right along. As I sit here and type numerous people are down there working away to get their parts done. My husband has been able to take part in wiring the house with electricity and that has made him super happy. He heads out to Venezuala on Tuesday so he is trying to put some work in where he can. I keep telling him he is lucky because once he comes back it will be almost move in ready. He gets to miss all the excitement of things coming up or going wrong! He's lucky! *This is me trying to build him up, he has let me know that it's not helping :/

Truth is, his time in Venezuela will fly by and he will be back before he knows it. On top of that I will be visiting him so that will break up his time there and then boom! It will be time to come home! I feel a massive amount of guilt that he has to leave but this is a part of the game. I am so blessed that he is devoted to his job and provides for us so I try very hard to encourage him and build him up. I know God is giving Jess this opportunity for a reason and I trust his will for us.

I hope that y'all are enjoying these cooler temps! It has been nice to wake up to the crisp, chilly air in the morning. After all, this is my favorite season of them all!

Love,

Around here....

Hey Y'all!

It has been quite a while! Things have been pretty active around here....

These pictures are over a course of a week and a half. We are looking forward to it continually changing and can't wait to be in it!

That of course, will take time but we are excited and blessed to be able to be in this situation. We wake up every morning super early just to watch the framers get started. We also go back once they have left for the day and check out what all they accomplished. It is such a cool process to watch!

So many exciting things going on! I am so happy that Saturday is the first day of Autumn! Time to fill the house with scents of pumpkin and cinnamon!

Happy Hump Day!

Love,
E

It came and it went....

So our baseball season came and went and we are now back in East Texas beginning our offseason. This one (just like all the others) is going to be a crazy one! We have been home for just 6 days and today they are starting the framing on our new house! 

My parents are contractors and I practically grew up on concrete slabs but this one is different. The stress of it all is so much more than I thought! We are very blessed to have the guidance we have from both of our parents through this process. Moms and dads always smooth out the "booboo's" when they do arise, even when you are 26 & 27 years old. 

I hope that y'all will enjoy this ride with us. I am super excited to share the process and myself can't wait to watch each stage!

Happy Tuesday!

Love,

E
